	Palace Of Illusions by Divakaruni Chitra

	Your Price : Rs 495.00

The Palace of Illusions was an important part of the Mahabharata, which had an underlying meaning to it - what you see, may not be real; it just could be an illusion. To identify the real, you need to look beyond just perception.

The Palace of Illusions gives an insight into what happened through the eyes of a strong feminist, the woman who was the wife of the five Pandava brothers. The story begins with the birth of Panchali, a magical birth in fire in a rich kingdom. It then goes on to explore her life as the single wife of five brothers. She supports them throughout their quest to reclaim the kingdom they had been cheated of.

All along, we get to see what kind of conflicts she goes through with her own self like trying to take over the household from her mother-in-law, maintaining a complex friendship with Krishna, her guilty attraction to her husband’s most dangerous enemy, etc. In a world that is ruled by myths, warriors, Gods and uncontrollable fate, we see the strength and viewpoint of a woman.
